one night before a day of fishing i was about 14 years old getting my stuff ready so in the morning i could just go fish and not worry about setting up my poles or any of that... anyway... as i was tying a hook on the line i had my fishing pole rested against my bed i went to bite the piece of excess line off after i had tied the hook when all of a sudden my pole falls over and the hook goes straight into my lip and the barb got stuck in the middle hurt so damn bad but the moral of the story was push it all the way thru snip the barb and pull it out....... i caught myself and man did it suck i feel the fishes pain

I put a trailer hook on a spinnerbait. The fish got hooked by the main hook. It was a small northern pike. I grabbed it by the back. It flopped and slid down my hand. The trailer caught me between the thumb and index finger. I cut the hook off and went home. I was 16. My dad cut the hook, but the barb was still in my hand. After an hour of surgery, they couldn't find it, and declared that it was fine. The point of the hook is still in my hand.
Sea bass fishing this summer on a charter boat. On the way back, I was clearing out the bait on my hook. The boat started moving so the weight fell over the edge and one of the hooks caught my thumb. 8oz weight falling exerts quite a force. Got the hook through my right thumb, very edge, not through my nail. Still didn't take away from the joy of a 4 lb black sea bass.
When I was in High School a few of my friends and I would go fishing almost every evening after school. We'd load up in the boat and fish until it got dark.
One day my buddy puts a Torpedo on and pulls back to cast it, starts throwing it and it burried into my cheek. 4 out of 6 hooks on the trebles got me. He starts tugging on it not knowing it was burried in my face. Finally I start yelling "God damn it Josh stop pulling."
Then our attempt at home surgery with Jack Daniels and razor blades to remove the hooks turned out very well.

I was fishing with my little brother here at home, and he was afraid to bait the hook. So I held on to it while sticking on a piece of chicken. My brother, who must have thought I was done, cast the line with my holding on the the hook. It dug traight through my thumb. Luckily it was at an oblique angle and since the end was sticking out, i was able to cut if off with pliers. That made pulling it our a little less unbearably painful
